Aircraft Refuelling at Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador (1929): A Captivating Snapshot of Aviation History This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of aviation history as it depicts the intricate process of aircraft refuelling at the bustling Gander Airfield in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. At the time, Gander was one of the world's largest airports due to its strategic position as a vital refuelling station for transatlantic flights. In the foreground, a Scandinavian aircraft, likely a Junkers F.13 or a similar model, is skillfully being refuelled by a Shell tanker truck. The aircraft's distinctive design and the distinctive Shell logo on the tanker truck underscore the international nature of air travel during this era. The Canadian flag proudly flies overhead, symbolizing the country's growing role in the world of aviation. The photograph also showcases the impressive infrastructure of the Gander Airfield, with numerous aircraft parked at the terminus, awaiting their turn for refuelling. The vast expanse of the airfield, dotted with hangars and support structures, underscores the scale of the operation. The year is 1929, an era when air travel was still a novelty and long-distance flights required multiple refuelling stops. The image transports us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of early aviation and the critical role that Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, played in shaping the history of air travel.
